Asia Steel Forum 2014 will be held from October 22 to 24 at Crown Plaza Hotel in Shanghai. With four years of experience, the ASF has become a conference which provides the attendees with the opportunity to gain information and insight into the global steel industry.

The main theme of the ASF 2014 is diversifying Asian steel market. This year's ASF has expanded its scope from three countries(Korea, Japan, China) to Southeast Asia. Southeast Asia is an area where rapid economic growth as well as an increase in steel production and consumption is expected in the coming years. As a result, major steelmakers around the world are paying keen attention to this market.

At a time when the global economy is suffering from low growth and low margin following the financial crisis, ASF 2014 will provide a platform for Korean, Chinese and ASEAN steel makers to better understand each other and discuss measures for co-prosperity.
